Presented by the Yukon Woodworkers Guild and YuKonstruct at YuKonstruct.

Are you interested in woodworking with hand tools? Maybe you’ve purchased or inherited a hand plane or hand saw only to have it sit and gather dust on a shelf. Come learn how and why Tom Fidgen uses only hand tools to create fine furniture. Tom will also go over how to set up a hand tool workshop in a small space. Tools and materials will be available so you can try out hand sawing and hand planning.

About the Instructor: Tom Fidgen is an author, musician and furniture designer/maker living in Toronto, Ontario. Tom has written for Popular Woodworking Magazine, Fine Woodworking Magazine, Canadian Woodworking Magazine and the Lee Valley Tools newsletter. His first book, Made by Hand – Furniture Projects from the Unplugged Woodshop (2009, F&W Media) was the top-selling woodworking book of 2010. His much-anticipated follow-up, The Unplugged Woodshop – Hand Crafted Projects for the Home and Workshop, has received critical acclaim. Tom teaches private woodworking classes in his home work shop in Toronto as well as at woodworking schools abroad.
